universal-audit-pattern

universal-audit-pattern is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from fabioc-aloha/Alex_Skill_Mall. It costs 23 tokens per session (1,139 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A repeatable method for auditing a project by listing what to check, comparing it with reliable facts, ranking problems by severity, and fixing them. An audit is a systematic review for finding inaccuracies, gaps, or drift.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review documentation, code quality, security compliance, architecture, versions, terminology, and cross-references.
Why use it?
It prevents random checking, missed issues, unclear priorities, and starting from scratch each time an audit is needed.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

universal-audit-pattern scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Universal Audit Pattern

Category: Quality Time Saved: 4+ hours per audit Battle-tested: Yes — applied to docs, code, security, architecture


The Problem

You need to audit something — documentation accuracy, code quality, security compliance, architectural drift. You start checking things randomly, fix some issues, get distracted, lose track of what you've reviewed.

Why Ad-Hoc Audits Fail

  • No systematic coverage — you miss things
  • No severity ranking — you fix minor issues while critical ones wait
  • No completion criteria — you don't know when you're done
  • No reproducibility — next audit starts from scratch

The Rule

Inventory → Compare to Ground Truth → Severity-Classify → Fix All

This four-step pattern works for any domain where claims can drift from reality.

The Pattern

Step 1: Inventory

Create a complete list of items to audit. Be exhaustive.

## Inventory

| # | Item | Location | Status |
|---|------|----------|--------|
| 1 | Test count claim | README.md:45 | Pending |
| 2 | API endpoint list | docs/api.md | Pending |
| 3 | Version requirement | package.json | Pending |
| ... | ... | ... | ... |

Step 2: Compare to Ground Truth

For each item, verify against the authoritative source.

## Ground Truth Comparison

| # | Claim | Ground Truth | Match? |
|---|-------|--------------|--------|
| 1 | "47 tests" | `npm test` shows 89 | ❌ |
| 2 | "5 endpoints" | OpenAPI spec has 7 | ❌ |
| 3 | "Node 16+" | engines: ">=20" | ❌ |

Step 3: Severity-Classify

Prioritize by impact, not discovery order.

Severity Criteria Example
Critical Breaks functionality, security risk Wrong API URL
High Misleads users significantly Wrong version requirements
Medium Inaccurate but not harmful Outdated feature list
Low Cosmetic, minor Typos in comments
## Classified Findings

### Critical (fix immediately)
- [ ] #12: Security config example has hardcoded secret

### High (fix this sprint)
- [ ] #3: Version requirement mismatch
- [ ] #7: Deprecated API still documented

### Medium (fix when touched)
- [ ] #1: Test count outdated
- [ ] #2: Endpoint count wrong

### Low (backlog)
- [ ] #15: Typo in contributing guide

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

universal-audit-pattern is a skill published in the GitHub repository fabioc-aloha/Alex_Skill_Mall (4 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 23 tokens to every session and 1,139 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
